- You get off-peak holiday bargains
- You study at Botanical Gardens ( and get chased by a bunch of monkeys :P )
- You dance to memorize the times tables
- You teach your brother math with plastic soldiers on your bed

- People forget you study on public holidays
- The world is your classroom
- Your friends talk about exams and you go blank
- You're in prayer meeting when others are in tuition
- You read Little Women as English literature, when others read textbooks
- Your two year old brother listens attentively to eight chapters of unabridged Pinocchio
- You're asked to do things last minute because you're not in 'school'
- Other kid's paintings are restricted to one art block...you have the whole Church wall
- Your mum is cooking lunch, feeding your baby brother and teaching three different grades at once
- You're shopping for Christmas presents when others are only thinking of Christmas presents....
